Location

By Car

The position shown for PO38 3DH on Google Maps and most sat-navs is often only half way down Manor Road outside Manor Farm Cottages, which is not correct. Manor Bottom Barn is the very last house at the end of the lane with five rectangular skylights along the roof. The Granary is the smaller building on the left, across the track from the barn. Exact location can be seen on the map above.

You can park two cars in front of the solid wooden doors on the right hand side of the stable block. The two tracks beside the barn are occasionally used by farm vehicles, especially in spring when the Highland cattle are calving, so please leave them completely clear when you park your car.

​

Crossing

You can cross from Portsmouth, Southampton, or Lymington. The former is probably the easiest as the drive from Fishbourne to The Granary is quickest (though no journeys take long on the Island). You can book ferries using the links below link embedded below:

Shanklin is the nearest station. You can buy a ticket to Shanklin from any mainland station and this will include the crossing on the Wightlink catamaran which you board from Portsmouth Harbour station. From London the journey can take between 2 1/2 to 3 hours depending on connections. We can arrange a taxi for you from Shanklin or collect you ourselves if possible.

​

By Air

You cannot fly to the Island (unless you have your own plane which you can land at Sandown airport!) but train travel from Gatwick, Heathrow, Southampton or Bournemouth airports is easy. Train links are also good from airports further afield.

​
